Preheat & Prepare
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or use a small pizza pan. -
Toss the Popcorn Base
In a large bowl, mix the popcorn with olive oil or butter, Parmesan, and a pinch of salt. Spread the mixture onto the tray, shaping it like a round pizza base. -
Add Toppings
Drizzle or lightly spread pizza sauce over the popcorn. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and add your mini pepperoni or other kid-friendly toppings. -
Bake It Up
Bake for about 7–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool slightly to help it hold together. -
Slice & Serve
Use a pizza cutter or kitchen scissors to cut into wedges. Serve warm for maximum cheesy goodness!
